FARO\u00ae has announced the release of Virtual Reality (VR)-ready FARO\u00ae SCENE 7.1 software, enabling an immersive VR experience with integration of detailed photographic textures<\/h2>\n

While SCENE 7.1 is optimised for the FARO laser scanning<\/a> product portfolio, e.g. FocusS or Freestyle, it is also device agnostic, so it can seamlessly accept and manage 3D scan data from other, non-FARO laser scanner products.<\/p>\n

Immersive Virtual Reality<\/h3>\n

SCENE 7.1 enables users to view an entire project, i.e. the full range of related scans in full 3D virtual reality through a compatible VR headset from the comfort of the user\u2019s office or workstation chair. This reduces project cycle time by enabling architecture, engineering and construction professionals, public safety forensics experts and product designers to quickly simulate and compare reality for tasks such as evaluating as-built documentation, reconstructing crime or accident scenes, or optimising design plans.<\/p>\n

\"SCENE\"SCENE\"SCENEProductivity Enhancements in Virtual Reality<\/h3>\n

SCENE 7.1 advances beyond the \u201csee it better to understand it better\u201d concept common in most industrial VR solutions. It aims to enhance productivity by enabling users to take\/capture screenshots, tag comments or notes specific to images and navigate the system overview map in real time, all without needing to exit the Virtual Reality environment.<\/p>\n

Merging of FARO Terrestrial and Handheld Scanning Data<\/h3>\n

The FARO Focus and Freestyle products have had their own unique, coded targets (markers that identify scan areas\/specific targets), which could not be shared by the other scanning device. With SCENE 7.1 enhanced functionality, not only can both devices share coded targets, but they can also now verify registration of scans from both devices in a single, real time registration report. This ensures not only a more cohesive workflow between these devices but also enables projects to be completed faster.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been actively pushing the agenda to integrate high value VR capability and compatibility into our reality capture products,\u201d stated Andreas Gerster, Vice President, Global Construction BIM-CIM.<\/p>\n

Gerster added: \u201cThis is the third major introduction in this area from FARO over the past year and we are confident that facilitating the way our customers interact in a virtual project environment with access to real time, simulated real world information makes the planning processes more tangible and less error prone.\u201d<\/p>\n

A free 30 day trial for SCENE 7.1 is available for download at https:\/\/www.faro.com\/resource\/scene7\/<\/a><\/p>\n
